Pro Penn Marathon or Penn Tour vs lower-end Penn Championship balls for retaining bounce longer

Hello.

Do the higher-end balls retain their bounce for a longer period of time than the lower-end balls?
I’m specifically thinking of use in a ball machine (Lobster Elite 3 or Playmate Volley).
Example: Will Pro Penn Marathon or Penn Tour balls retain their bounce longer than Penn Championship balls?

Is it worth paying extra for better balls or just go with cheaper ones for a ball machine?
(I only want to use pressurized extra duty balls. I have an elbow issue and heard the pressureless balls can aggravate it.)

Please advise. Thanks!

G.O.A.T.
Yes, premium balls retain their bounce longer - ProPenn is higher-bouncing and slightly longer lasting than Penn Tour which is already way better than Penn Championship. Remember to buy Extra Duty balls in all cases if you play on hard courts as the regular duty balls are softer with less felt and don’t last as long on hard courts.
